At Least the Mob Got the Right Guy, Right?

One of the lurking worries about the Kensington mob that beat up the rape suspect is that they'd beat up an innocent man -- but apparently those worries can be put to rest:

There's only a one in sextillion chance that Jose Carrasquillo isn't the man who raped the 11-year-old girl on June 1, said Joseph Szarka of the police forensics lab.

"If you had that many people [1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000] in the world, he'd be the only person that'd match," Szarka said yesterday after a news conference at the Police Forensics Science Bureau, at 8th and Poplar streets.

Authorities announced that Carrasquillo, 26, will be charged today in the girl's rape in a Kensington backyard after his DNA was positively linked to DNA found in the girl's underwear.

This doesn't make it right to take justice into your own hands, of course. But things could've been worse.
